Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

To be fair it DOES sound better than Detroit Stories and Paranormal, but it's in the same vein as the previous two. And that's a major turn off for me. I think im done. Alice might be in his twilight/sundown stage of his career but for me everything past 2011 has been a disappointment. Just listenin...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

I found WLF a bit better and more cohesive than I'm Alice. Im just dreading the covers, because Alice shouldn't be doing covers and that any cover he has done (even with Hollywood Vampires) is just plain cringe...especially the return of Road Rats...from his first watered down, weak album way, way b...

Re: I'm Alice

Just listened to it, and I think it's ok. It feels alittle offbeat in places and somewhat hokey but that's part of it's charm. Maybe it'll grow on me... As for the album, I'm going to be optimistic but VERY cautious. As I disliked evrything from Hollywood Vampires through Detroit Stories I'm expecti...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

Si, Kiss from 88-94 was awesome. They sounded like an actual band. 70's Kiss may be iconic, but it's also overrated. As for Alice, here's the thing...this isn't going to be nice or comfortable but it's going to be said. For the past nine or ten years Alice has relied too heavily upon nostalgia. He t...

Re: 2022 hopes and dreams

Modern sounding albums. Hopefully the first one with the current band and the second one with Dennis, Michael, and Neal. Maybe bring Nina on that one as well.

Just no more retroactive stuff.

Re: Re-evaluating Alice

For me, the rose tinted glasses came off after W2MN. Im sick and tired of the covers, the barely decent albums, and the bar bands. I remember when Alice was unafraid and importantly...UNAPOLOGETIC. Im sick and tired of him talking about Detroit as if it was the american Shangra -La....I'm sick and t...

Alice & Hollywood

Just a quick question for anyone who might happen to know: Why hasn't Alice done more in Hollywood? Im asking because earlier today I was watching this short film called DC Showcase The Spectre and I kept thinking 'This would be perfect for Alice.' Even if he has the beak of The Shadow. :evil: From ...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

I hope the sound is modernized a bit. Alice should let the band sound as they want to and not try to restrain them to a classic rock sound. Everything after W2MN has been an embarassment...let us never forget the butchering of Whole Lotta Love and Heroes. (Depeche Mode's version is far, far superior...

Re: Touring band to feature on next album!

If it's going to be more of the same 1971/Detriot yada yada yada sounding garbage, then he really shouldn't bother.

Re: Detroit Stories Review

Like the actual Detriot today, Alice has become a former shell that can only live off his past. I'm going to be completely honest. This IS Alice Cooper now. And this IS the new Alice Cooper album. It's only one step above Paranormal..but what does that matter? Alice is constantly aiming for 1971 but...

Re: Four Years Later.....Welcome 2 My Nightmare.....revisite

Great album followed by a complete wasted opportunity to properly bring it live. When I go to see Alice live I don't want to hear him play cover songs of other artists work. The show could have been amazing had he stood by W2MN instead of becoming a nostalgia act. Shame on you Alice. Hope it was wor...

Dirty DIamonds - 10 years on

Since this year marks the 10th anniversary of Dirty Diamonds, how does it still hold up to you? As for me, when it first came out I hated it. I thought it was the most immature album Alice had ever recorded. I don't like him being on indie labels and thought it was a throwaway disc. Then came Live a...

Re: Alice Cooper Planning To Release Covers Album In Spring

Going to pass on this. I'm sorry but it's been three years of the same thing. W2MN could have had a killer show behind it but Alice didn't touch it. I'd rather have another Dirty Diamonds than a covers album. However, if he's covering William Shatter's rendition of Elton John's Rocket Man as a bonus...

Re: The Spanish Interview full translation & 2013 ACG and Ez

I for will be thrilled if it happens, but because Alice himself wants it to happen and not some of us who are still mourning the loss of the ACG in 1973. Yeah, I'm talking about the lot of you. :nono: No matter what happens, just everyone please don't get too carried away at the prospect, and for th...

Re: Entertainers vs Musicians

Musician for sure. While I do love and respect the Stones (they're way better than The Beatles) I honestly wish that Alice would quit emulating them with each and every album.

Have to agree that the ACG were great musicians, however I'll perfer Wagner/Hunter slightly avobe them. :D

Live At The Whiskey a go go? (1969)

Can anyone verify for me if it was released before Pretties For YOu?

The people at allmusic.com seem to think so and I was wondering it it was 100% accurate.
